Uruguay launches $5.7B solar and data center project; Solaria to build 350MW plant

Uruguay announced a $5.7 billion combined solar plant and data center project, with Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente SA committing $200 million for a 350-megawatt solar facility. The scale suggests a major foreign investment in renewable energy and digital infrastructure, though details on the data center component and financing remain unclear. This could bolster Uruguay's renewable energy leadership and attract further tech investment.
